That move failed bigly. The establishment didn’t want a bridge.

That’s actually a really good take one why Trump made the personnel choices that he did that I haven’t really heard before. Team of rivals. Maybe that would work in the business, as dirty as that gets, but the swamp is a whole different level.
agreed. there was a time when Pence was seen as a serious conservative, sort of the conservative future even
Trump came from a world where a person’s motivation is pretty clear (making money) so probably the idea that people would lose on purpose out of spite wasn’t on his radar. Just look at Paul Ryan, he got the republicans to lose an election just so he can go against Trump’s proposals that were largely popular with Americans , even if a lot of people didn’t like his personality.
“Maybe that would work in the business, as dirty as that gets, but the swamp is a whole different level.”
Very true.
